>> very little, but i do. i do get dragged in once in a while and normally regret it. it happened the other day and i was having a nice evening. yeah well, my evening's gone, isn't it? >> i'm just saying it was because i was arguing and then he came in to help me just put down the pinot grigio and step away from the smartphone. >> anyway, let's have a look at those front pages. the daily telegraph is leading with 40% surge in children on disability benefits. the daily mail has got. starmer told get a grip of work shy britain and the times. rail attacks on women up 50%. the eye newspaper has musk's ex using far right hate to sell adverts. the guardian revealed how poor paid the price of cheap inflation. and finally, the daily star. get your kit on, whatever that means. those were your front pages . right. we're your front pages. right. we're going to go to the front cover of the times. there's a lot of interesting stories on this job. >> there are indeed the first one here. no worries mate, head to australia for a life two years longer. and that's a story about. >> is that one of your terrible

accents? >> no, this is my normal. which one were you doing? >> he was trying to do australian sounded more new zealand stroke. i am a professional actor. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> what's your german like? it's a very good. there we go. so you live longer in australia, but it's more boring. >> oh, they didn't say that. i'm just adding that. so you do get two extra years, but they're more boring. >> i don't think you do. what if you get caught by one of those spiders? they have poisonous, deadly spiders. >> that's why they're so healthy. they're constantly running away from spiders and every other animal snakes all the time. and snakes and kangaroos can be a bit of a punch if you get too close. everything can kill you there. and it's also it is boring. it's what people do in australia. i've been there. they drink and sweat. that's it. really? >> yeah, but they live longer for it. whereas americans die five years earlier because i imagine they're all shooting each other. yeah. english people. yeah, i think we're in the middle. i think we've got it. >> we've got scottish people about 30 years younger. i think they bring us down. >> so apparently in australia it's better, like alcoholism is for good you. yeah. >> apparently there is an interesting statistic though, that 30% of australians are not were not born in australia and

immigrants live longer too. so there we go. so? >> so they're cheating. they've raised their living standards by to do the same. >> everybody . >> everybody. >> everybody. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> what else have we got on the front cover. >> we have a more serious story. russia warns of far wider conflict after incursion. this is ukraine taking the fight to russia. this is the first land of a land invasion of russia since world war two. yes. and they have made a lot of headway. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think there's like 100,000, square kilometres square metres and, kilometres. i think . and and, kilometres. i think. and it's a big deal for three reasons. i read a whole article about it. believe it or not, he'd be so proud of me. andrew, i read something. >> you're always prepared. >> you're always prepared. >> and it says, first of all, it undermines putin. the fact that they can do this. secondly, it shows that all of their forces can sort of work together and shows like proves that they're quite strong. and the other thing is that then they have something to negotiate when it comes to peace time. if they manage to hold on to this and they're diverting forces for elsewhere. so really it's win win win. >> well, i mean, ultimately a negotiation towards peace is the final goal. it's got to be, hasn't it? >> yeah. but the negotiation is,

you know, it could be dangerous because what people are doing is giving away areas of ukraine to russian separatists and so on, which if it doesn't come with all the caveats and that becomes an arming area, it becomes a system for a much worse war later on, which you see in many parts of the world. but it is interesting. and what's funny about it, reasonably funny about it, is the way putin has reacted to this and said it's aggressive and he's offended by it. so yeah, i mean, so are the drones that he's sending in currently in retaliation. >> that's quite aggressive. yeah, i'd say it's reasonably aggressive. resolve it. >> maybe him starting a war against ukraine that was a little bit aggressive. >> oh josh you and your ideas. let's have a look at the front cover of the guardian. kerry what are they running with, okay. >> i'll give it a little nod to this story in the corner. actors demanding age, blind casting. really? which, yeah, this is going to be the new thing coming up.andi going to be the new thing coming up. and i imagine it's the older actors. yes, i don't think it's the younger ones saying, you know, can we play older parts much more? obviously they've never heard of bugsy malone. well surely, you know it's been done before. what do they mean by that? >> you can't like do a remake of annie with a 60 year old in the

lead role? >> that's what they're arguing. >> that's what they're arguing. >> maybe they they are arguing for that. and maybe, maybe there's going to be some really awkward sex scenes coming up. >> i mean, it's going to be creepy, right? >> i don't think there's a sex scene in annie. >> i didn't say in annie particularly. i mean, you know, maybe you've watched the director. i mean, generally, yeah. >> okay. >> okay. >> yeah. so what else is happening? >> reveals how poor paid the price of cheap inflation. can you explain this? this invented compound. cheap. >> yeah, that's a new. it was a new one on me as well. but it means the inflation of cheaper products. okay so that's which is a bit odd. you know they're always going for a word a coined word that will work . they can word that will work. they can just explain it as you did it. yes. yeah so at the lower end of the market prices have inflated more than at the higher end of the market. and so when you get items like milk , pasta and items like milk, pasta and butter, they rose by 36%. but the more expensive versions of them rose by 16%. so i think they're suggesting that poor people should buy more expensive products . is that right? sure. products. is that right? sure. >> but well, there might be a problem with that theorising. >> i'll just give you a quick story. you didn't know you were

coming in, but a quick figure on this is that the lowest 25% of people, compared to the upper 25% of people, have paid £100 more per year for their shopping. so that's how it's being affected. >> josh, any thoughts on this? yeah, it's just it's unfair. >> what you mean society as whole? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but it's got more unfair because this is the largest difference of inflation that ever between these these two groups. yes, >> do you think that's unfair? yeah i just yeah. >> basically. yeah. so poor people are spending more of their money to survive. yeah. than rich people. >> and this is an old story. as old as time, really. >> it's the gap's getting bigger. but is it, is it market. >> is it, is it the way market forces work though? is it that. that's but a few pennies on this. you make a big fortune because there's more products being sold at the lower range. i'm not saying it's good. i think it's i agree with josh howie to blame the labour government. yeah, i think so. >> i think i think that's pushing it. yes. we can start blaming them for it. >> at what point, what point do we do that? two months. yeah okay. okay. >> what about the front cover of the telegraph. who's got this?

>> josh i've got this one. yeah. 40% surge in children on disability benefits. this is since covid, so that's kind of a big deal. it's costing a lot of money. and the question is, did suddenly 40% of people get sicker with mental health issues, particularly young boys ? issues, particularly young boys? or are parents getting better at claiming the money? or there's a lot of adhd stuff? how much do you believe in adhd? >> do you mean we are living in an over diagnostic culture? >> i don't know, my wife might be watching tonight. she's a big fan of adhd. >> sounds like you're saying that to me. what do you think, carrie? because this is a bit of a minefield. this. you know, if you start to cast doubt onto some of these diagnoses, as josh clearly is doing, yes, some parents get very upset about that. >> yes, well, first of all, can i just say i'm >> yes, well, first of all, can ijust say i'm a bit upset >> yes, well, first of all, can i just say i'm a bit upset that you didn't go with the horse or cow, which milk is best for you story. >> because i think at the top of the paper, i think we just go cow. >> cow. >> can we all agree? cow >> can we all agree? cow >> has anyone even tasted horse milk? >> no, i don't want to see you milking one. thankfully. thankfully, no. what do you make of okay, so the 40% i read this

wrong. at first i thought they said there was a 40% surge in children on disability. as in, they've gone fatter. but it doesn't mean that parents are claiming disability allowance for children, which has gone up by 4,040%, and these are a lot of behavioural disorders that have doubled since before the pandemic. so it's interesting. well it could be i mean, that seems like more than a coincidence . so maybe people coincidence. so maybe people have been stuck at home for a long time of, i don't know, this becomes a lifelong expenditure as well. >> that's the other problem. it's not just when they're kids. >> it's i'm not denying that some kids have these sort of problems, but there are some kids that are just really naughty kids and they get sort of diagnosed with these things. as i was talking about my kids. >> right? >> right? >> i mean, i wasn't going to say it, but i think the implication was hanging in the air. yeah yeah. anyway, let's take a look at our next paper. this is the daily star, and they always buck the trend a little bit, don't they. >> well they're complaining about exhibitionist blokes saying they should stop taking their tops off in public during heat waves because the rest of us find it grim. a timely new poll found they don't like that,

do they? >> that picture? >> that picture? >> well this picture well, for a start, calling it exhibitionist. we don't call them exhibitionists if they're pretty, do we? then it's just like, that's cool. but if a bloke like if a bloke takes his top off his exhibition, i like fat blokes taking their tops off because it makes me feel better. i'm more likely to do the same on a beach. i'm not. i will not be. i will not be shamed. >> i the star is not that kind of show. >> it is that kind of show you're giving your audience what they want. >> josh, turn on the music. perry, is this specifically about overweight blokes? because i think they've just used an overweight bloke to illustrate the story, but they're making the story, but they're making the point broadly that people with their shirts off are it's same blokes. >> i don't see anything saying exhibitionist people. so no, i think people are offended by fat men. >> are they josh? are they because you lost a lot of weight very quickly, didn't you? >> did then i've put it all back on again. >> not all of it. >> not all of it. >> i put most of it back on. >> i put most of it back on. >> look, josh, it's not the audience decide. it's how you are inside that counts. >> and outside. >> and outside. >> absolutely. i couldn't disagree more. anyway, that's

all we've got time for in this section. stick around though, because we're going to be talking about british worklessness ambivalence about the next tory leader and who told who to have to have sex with your owi'i own face. we'll find out in a

welcome back to headliners. i'm andrew doyle, and i'm still in the pleasant company of josh howie and carrie marks. let's crack on josh with wednesday's express . and maybe starmer does express. and maybe starmer does know the reason for the riots after all. >> well, this is it. keir starmer's europe plot amid warnings of an unending supply of migrants arriving. so a lot of migrants arriving. so a lot of people say, oh, he's not doing anything about the immigration and whatnot. and he is doing something here. what he's doing is he's he's he's meeting, first of all, with george giorgia meloni, who is the opportunity to the far right leader of italy, germany, italy . leader of italy, germany, italy. and, but everyone was like, are

they going to work together now? and this is the thing when you're in power. well, that's it exactly. so but then suddenly, suddenly, now they're hanging. they're hanging out and stuff. yeah. because they want it. he wants to beef up europol got it . wants to beef up europol got it. and they want to get to the traffickers and whatnot, because one of the major criticisms of meloni is that she, she talked a good talk when she was running, but she actually hasn't done much about them very much. do you know what you can do? so if this is something they're going to do. and part of this would be the uk, 50% of these new officers going into the europol and working there, because of course you can't. we can't just deal with it from this island. their they're based elsewhere in europe. so we have to work with europe. so we have to work with europe. so we have to work with europe. so there's somewhat of an irony thing here of the sort of people i don't want to call them brexiteers, but the people who don't want us to really have anything to do with europe whatsoever. but we have to deal with this issue of getting illegal immigration from europe. >> they have to be in the eu for that, though. >> no, we don't, but we do have

to have a closer ties with europe to be able to effectively deal with these. >> just go and have a meeting, have a lunch. >> well, it's also about having that's what lunch is for. >> that's what they're for exactly. >> it's just a lunch. >> it's just a lunch. >> it's just a lunch. >> it does feel it does feel like it could be a back door of starmer trying to get us back into europe a little bit, though. >> do you think he's sworn that he won't do that? he's been very, very clear that he won't do that. yeah, but you don't trust that. >> well i mean it could be the odd little rule here and there, i don't know. i mean, the point is that dealing with the, the people traffickers should be a priority here. >> this is the way to deal with the. >> no, totally. but it's how we go about it. the point is the traffickers make a fortune doing this. you know, they make a lot of money. you know, my idea this is a bit radical, is a lot of money. we should we should undercut them, you know, if they're going to do it anyway, we should offer a cheaper price. we can do that. and we can guarantee their journey into the. they kind of come here anyway. let's make money out of it. what do you think? good idea. >> is that when we tried it with rwanda, it cost about 400 million. and it was one. yeah, but this way we make money, we

make the money organising the boat service. >> it would be a better dinghy. it'd be. >> my other idea is that we raise england, we raise the uk. we just put some, i don't know, stilts under it or something. make it harder. so you have to climb up when you get here, which is good for climate change. >> yeah, i think so. >> yeah, i think so. >> there's so much being said about all of this. and what's happenedis about all of this. and what's happened is we don't have any deterrent right now. and i thought the rwanda plan was awful. but at the same time, something has to replace it because otherwise we're talking about we've got riots. yeah, riots. that'll do it. but he was talking about starmer, was talking about starmer, was talking about starmer, was talking about albania for a while wasn't he. >> no, no, they were talking abouti >> no, no, they were talking about i think it was more that they had a deal with albania, right. that the albanians go back, which worked, which. but they were talking about somewhere else though. >> no, i think they were talking about albania. albania is a place for. >> yeah, instead of rwanda. why is albania better than rwanda then?i is albania better than rwanda then? i guess it sounds a bit racist that people would say that albania is better than rwanda. that's all i'm saying. >> well, let's just put that out there. we'll move on to wednesday's telegraph. now, a bit of victim blaming going on spiralling worklessness among british born adults is fuelling a migration crisis. >> they're saying the migration crisis is because of this

worklessness work. >> shy is the way one person. >> shy is the way one person. >> well, yeah, but workless is a new word, so we like that. rather, we describe people by what they don't do. like, i don't like dancing, so i'm dancers. you are apparently. i always think it works. dance. yeah. that's how i describe myself nowadays . so i guess myself nowadays. so i guess starmer's goal of driving up gdp is in jeopardy as 9.5 million people are economically inactive. i guess this is another black hole that they've found. they keep appearing. yeah, they keep appearing, keep finding new, new black holes that they weren't aware of beforehand. it says that the 9.5 million people of working age are neither in work nor looking for work, which is an odd sentence, kind of a riddle that they're giving us here, which just means they're not working. does that mean that you can't blame this on migration? >> it's actually people, british born people. they're not finding work. they're not trying to find work. they're not trying to find work. that's what's being said here, isn't it? >> yeah, but you could put it either way as well. you could say that maybe migration is stopping people working as well. it's putting people off work. they go there's so many people coming in and taking all the jobs, so it's not worth doing. but i'm not speaking for them. >> but they feel that sickness is the big deal. people think

that being diagnosed with sickness that are making them incapable of work, right? yeah, that's what i understand. sorry. >> no no no no, i was just going to say, look, this has been a problem under the tories as well. but they recognised it as a problem. labour seemed to as well. liz truss not a fan of, but the one thing she was she did kind of call right. was this, this idea that we are kind of like the victims of our own lethargy or lethargy . is it lethargy or lethargy. is it lethargy or lethargy. is it lethargy or lethargy. is it lethargy or lethargy? we're victims of our own inability to pronounce lethargy or indolence . pronounce lethargy or indolence. maybe indolence is another one. >> indolence. yeah exactly. >> indolence. yeah exactly. >> either way, we've got a million jobs that are available. yes. the majority of people taking these jobs are people who are not born in the uk. right. so there we have these 9 million inactive people and they're not going to jobs. now, the question is because they low paying jobs, does that mean that wages need to go up to attract them. yeah. >> but it does say most of it's due to long term sickness. i mean that's what the article. yeah. well but you're saying you're casting aspersions on that. >> i, i know some long term sick people and they ain't they ain't

long term sick really. i mean, i'm not talking i daniel blake territory here. there are genuine long term sick people. >> of course there are. >> of course there are. >> yeah. but i also know we're going to have robots soon. >> give it another few decades. there'll be robots doing everything. we'll sit back. we'll have a nice life. everything's going to be fine. >> we'll be robots. we'll be transhumanism . we'll have transhumanism. we'll have microchips in our heads. >> oh, they're still going to get us working. you're right. oh i thought we were going to relax and let the robots do the whole thing. >> we'll be cyborgs. and josh has already nailed the voice. thank you. let's move on to the daily mail next. the british people aren't that bothered about who's going to be our next. but one leader. >> next. but one. exactly three and five brits don't care who becomes the next tory leader. as new poll reveals public apathy over rishi sunaks replacement. now a few weeks ago, i would have said it was kind of a poisoned chalice to be the labour leader. when starmer got in, people thought there was no way they thought he was going to be a caretaker. yeah, you know, leader of the opposition. but. and then everything turned around , as it can do now, as it around, as it can do now, as it can do. and i got to be honest, there's not ups and downs certainly this. well i think

you're right, because i think what we've learned over the past few years is no one's vote can be taken for granted anymore. >> you can go from an 80 seat majority for the tories, 412 seats to labour. there are no tory voters and labour voters anymore. there's just voters and they can swing either way. >> and we saw this a lot with brexit and with immigration that sometimes the working class have started voting for tories on certain issues and so on. so yeah, it's moving. it's migrating across across the border. what do you think, carrie , of who should be the carrie, of who should be the next tory leader? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> at the moment. i'm quite liking tugendhat again at the moment, but i've gone up and down with each one of them. in fact, i think kemi could be interesting. there's some good candidates, but do you know, i totally understand why people most people in this survey aren't going to care anyway because you're talking about most of the public don't vote for any particular party anyway, so they're not going to care. and also no one's going to really care until the until it gets going properly, until there's like debates and so on. so at this point, well, i think most probably will keep out of it. i think most i think kemi badenoch is impressive. >> tom tugendhat is impressive. i think, you know, i think

there's a few actually. what do you think, josh. >> i my vote if i was would go with kemi badenoch. we're finding more about her. i just think she's the best speaker that she speaks the most plainly. yeah. >> she's always well briefed on everything. >> yeah, she's a good communicator. yeah, in terms of getting across there, but it's. but it is a bit like the kind of rachel ross from friends will they won't they, in terms of, like , new tory leaders, it just like, new tory leaders, it just it's like, oh, we've been here before. are we going to have to go through this whole storyline again? yes. >> i think pretty sure, just a bit too controversial to the public. i think she's upset too many people, even if you agree with her. i think that too many people got upset with her talking about the policing and so on, and being very critical. >> we're allowed to base our judgement on beauty. not that kemi badenoch not tom tugendhat is beautiful. >> what are you getting yourself into here? >> rectifying politicians? frankly, it's not just margaret thatcher. >> just stop it. >> just stop it. >> you vote on the basis of your arousal levels . no. arousal levels. no. >> yes, jane. pretty, pretty. >> yes, jane. pretty, pretty. >> right. we're moving on. kerry, this is the telegraph. now. someone is striding into a contentious debate. if you like

what i did, you've all done. >> which one of them are you talking about? so this is mel stride, who is getting into the debate about the riots and has said that the unrest took place with job security and home ownership, or you know, to do with working class people or boys, particularly in fact, feeling out of reach for for, them, for the poor white males, which sounds so condescending, that expression, by the way, poon that expression, by the way, poor, those poor white males, and, yeah, it really it's, what we've had then is, is left and right arguments riots by non non non white people are described as poverty and often put down as poverty. and now we're seeing the other side of the coin where people on the right are saying that this was to down poverty, which i think probably is a factor. this has happened mostly and the same with the black lives matter riots. they happenedin lives matter riots. they happened in poor areas. so poverty is almost certainly a factor where people are feeling disenfranchised and disgruntled with their chances in life and so on. so on.

>> so on. >> i mean, a lot of people are saying that, well, white working class boys are some of the most underachieving demographic in the country. and it's also been problematised by the idea that, you know, people have been banging on about white privilege and that actually has had an effect just in terms of people thinking, well, there's no need to address the issue of underperforming white kids because they've got privilege. it has muddied policy thinking , it has muddied policy thinking, proportionately the least likely ethnic group to attend british universities, top universities, white teenagers. >> yeah, that's not just white boys. that's just white girls and boys. yeah seven out of ten are the most deprived areas in england. were experiencing rioting. he starts it though going off. he does get there eventually, but he starts off going on about social media and the responsibility of the platforms . that kind of the responsibility of the platforms. that kind of winds me up, he said. >> the necessary things. yeah, exactly. and he also but he also starts he sort of brushes over like community cohesion and doesn't. >> no one has really gotten into it and said there's a two tier policing issue. there are problems of islamists. >> we're trying to get into it, josh, but it's a difficult conversation to have. >> it is. and until we can have

leaders who might just be a little bit more honest about these things, and we can actually have some proper adult debates about it. >> kemi badenoch is pretty good at broaching these sensitive topics in a in a good way. no, i agree, yeah. so maybe it will happen. let's move on now to the express. and josh, i'm really glad your catch phrase is catching on. >> indeed. yeah, f your own face. that's what i'm always saying. >> always says it. >> always says it. >> i'm coming in. >> i'm coming in. >> you said it when i came in this evening, i was like, yo, andrew, f you on face. and you say it like that as well, which is really annoying. >> so it says here, you have to take a big step back and say it. >> well, i know, but i can't. i'm sitting down right now. normally i do it. i think it's going to be more effective than elon musk has said this, but he hasn't said this. >> he's posted a meme he posted with the phrase in it and who's he talking to? he's talking to an eu chief, an eu official, not he's not like a chief like. >> all right chief, he's like he is a chief. okay, whatever. >> anyway, like with a feathery hat . hat. >> yeah. thierry breton. no, i meant like it's a, it's a word we use on the street. andrew oh, okay. you're all right, chief. he's a european commissioner for internal market and services. he

sent a letter to mr musk saying that any negative effect of illegal content could result in action being taken by the eu, but hot off the press, the eu. i just read an article that said he's got he's gone rogue . he's got he's gone rogue. thierry breton has gone rogue, has he? and they say, we do not approve this letter that he has sent off the eu has often made overtures about how they want to kerb freedom of speech. >> they have made these kind of threats before. it wouldn't be entirely out of character. but it's interesting that musk, you know, if you agitate musk or threaten him with these kind of actions , he always reacts in actions, he always reacts in this way. it's like what he said to the advertisers. you know, even people threatening to pull millions of dollars out of twitter or x, he says, go, yeah , yourself. >> i think when you're the richest person in the world, you can do that right? yeah. >> it's a shame he hasn't got a bit more humour to it. i think personally i think it's been quite funny. yeah from a comedy meme. yeah, a comedy meme. he's borrowed something. say something funny yourself or deal with it. >> he's just, he's a rich bloke. he's not funny. >> i'm not as comfortable with the owner of a social media platform being so contentiously

politically active . even if you politically active. even if you agree with him on stuff. i just think it's a bit, you know, run your media and let the people have their discussions on it. but if you're showing your hand all the time. >> but he was saying, i think his argument would be that x before or twitter before was extremely politically active. it just didn't. it just didn't admit to being so. in other words, it would censor right leaning accounts and wouldn't tell you about left leaning accounts. >> by the way, left leaning accounts. you said that there are two biological sexes. that's true. >> that's true. so i think he's saying what i'm saying is free speech for all, including people on the left and the right. and he doesn't like any. >> i'm only arguing whether he has some responsibility as the owner of the social media platform. i don't see you both going. no. not really. well, you're the you're the adult in the room. maybe he does, but at the room. maybe he does, but at the same time, you know, it was an attack on free speech and i very much believe in free speech. so i think he was he was right to react to it. >> i disagree with you, carrie. go for your own face. >> there we go. >> there we go. >> take us. take a step back. >> take us. take a step back. >> catchphrase comes in. inevitably, we've made it halfway intact. but when we make it through the next section, we've got some pretty hot potatoes coming up. we've got

disabled trans athletes, cocaine, apologies. and lynam. don't go anywhere

>> peter murrell. >> peter murrell. >> welcome back to headliners. your first look at wednesday's newspapers carry. let's get straight back into it with wednesday's daily mail. kamala issues a response to trump. >> yes, she does , so this was >> yes, she does, so this was trump's interview with elon musk, which went on for two hours, which i haven't listened to because i don't watch two hour interviews unless there's an impressive substance to it, which i gather there wasn't particularly, she's saying his entire campaign is in service of people like elon musk and himself , people like elon musk and himself, self—obsessed rich guys who cannot run a live stream in a livestream in the year 2024, which just means the two of them. i don't think most of the people who who are you know, supporting trump are necessarily very rich people who can't do a live stream. >> but he seems to appeal to the

working classes. a lot, doesn't he? >> he does actually, and they're very good at live streams. >> they're very good at it. excellent live streams. >> yeah, they tend to be good. >> yeah, they tend to be good. >> it says here in the article there was a rambling two hour interview, but it's a podcast isn't it? yeah, yeah, podcasts. >> and what's funny about it is now she's she's the one accusing him of slurring and, and having a lisp just a short while ago. of course it was the other way around. there was a complaint about biden coming from trump. >> she said it about him or is it? i mean, there have been everybody's i haven't listened to it either. but supposedly he did lisp a lot, and supposedly that's his natural voice. >> i think she's mentioned it. >> i think she's mentioned it. >> i think people have been mentioning it. >> oh, well, look, the thing about this is there's a bit of hypocrisy, isn't there, josh? because, i mean, kamala harris has been avoiding any kind of press attention whatsoever. she doesn't want to sit down and have an interview for good reason, because when she's off script, she isn't good. >> no, she isn't good. and musk has actually, in response to this, said, you're welcome to come on and be interviewed as well. i'm sure that definitely won't happen. no exactly. so i mean, it is quite funny. i mean, speaking of hypocrisy, when ron desantis launched his campaign on x a few years ago and it went

wrong because a similar technical issues , trump was in technical issues, trump was in awe like, look at you, you loser. you can't even sort out . loser. you can't even sort out. it's the most disastrous campaign. so it's quite funny that a similar thing happened to him. yeah, this is also a big deal because it's trump's return to twitter slash x. >> i mean, a huge numbers on this. yeah >> yeah. no. they're saying a billion people over a million. more than a million at the peak. but this is like going to be listened to a billion people. >> did you listen to it? >> did you listen to it? >> sorry i didn't i didn't, but i'm just i'm just wondering whether it's got a life i've got. >> i'm arguing with people on twitter. >> who are you kidding? >> who are you kidding? >> did you watch it? >> did you watch it? >> no, ijust >> did you watch it? >> no, i just said no, not at all. not in no way. no i watched it. no. cut it down to 20 minutes. maybe i wouldn't know, but. >> but do you think there's any i mean, kerry, do you do you think that actually musk throwing his weight behind trump. but of course this was off the back of the assassination attempt initially. but do you think that's actually going to make a difference to the outcome? >> i think it's very hard to tell because it was it's been a really interesting race so far because it was quite clearly things moving towards trump for a while. whilst biden of course, was was looking weak and then he

stepped down. then it became this now become about vice presidents as well. and trump's ratings have gone down considerably. so it's there's a feeling anything could happen right now. he's still trying to attack in the same way he did with biden. but he's lost a lot now making it about kamala . now making it about kamala. >> i think his best approach would be to just talk about kamala and kamala's record and to talk about policy, because every time policy sort of dig. yeah, he he loses . that's the yeah, he he loses. that's the people don't respond to that. >> and i feel like it kind of turned when he got a bit nasty again, he sort of came out of that assassination attempt and he looked kind of like unifying like this is terrible. and you think, okay, this guy, maybe he's sort of seen that we should all come by our hold hands and move forward and whatever. and then he just. and then when biden stepped down, he was like , biden stepped down, he was like, yeah, you old geezer. >> the problem is, people don't know much about kamala harris, and the more they know they won't like it because she's not very good. but the thing is, the media is that's why she's not speaking much. >> that's why she's doing what she did . she hid in a basement she did. she hid in a basement for the whole campaign. >> so what? >> so what? >> he's got to do, really, is to draw her out and not i don't think it's going to work for him

to just make it pure insult at this point, especially when he's just been doing that. if you do that against person a, they leave and then person b steps in immediately and you do exactly the same thing, then it becomes about you being just pure because he said, oh, she's she's really beautiful and looks like my wife. he did say she, i don't know, is that a compliment or an insult? it depends what he thinks of his wife, really, doesn't it? >> the sun next, josh, it's really nice . paralympics are really nice. paralympics are promoting equal sporting opportunities for cheaters. >> indeed, more . >> indeed, more. >> indeed, more. >> so blunt. >> so blunt. >> well, i mean, come on, it is. >> that's what it's all about. that's what it's all about. mince our words indeed. >> first . openly first openly >> first. openly first openly transgender athlete confirmed for the paralympic games in 2024 after being cleared to compete. this is valentina petrillo. she's the first or he or whatever a transgender photos. josh yes. >> i don't i don't think there's any real he's 50 years old. >> so how interesting that a 50 year old sprinter can compete at an olympic or paralympic level. funny that. that's so strange .

funny that. that's so strange. yeah, and, yeah, it's been given and, and the head of the italian team or whatever basically said, you know , we want to be fair, you know, we want to be fair, but it's a very difficult question. it's not a difficult question. it's not a difficult question . this he had this question. this he had this biological male has massive physical advantages here. this is utterly ridiculous. disgusting. but then we saw it. we i can't believe that we've as a culture, somehow managed to absorb the fact that biological men beat up women and won gold awards for it. and it doesn't . awards for it. and it doesn't. nothing seems to have shifted somehow. >> do you think that in like 30, 40 years, historians are going to be like, what the hell happened there? why would they? why were they allowing men to beat women up? >> well, i've been saying for a while, the whole thing, i think we don't seem to recognise how fads work after all this time. you know, i think we're going to see this age depicted in comedy programs in the future. there'll be there'll be people at parties wearing badges saying he, him,

and everyone will be saying, oh, we used to do that. oh, i well i'm sure well, i hope so. >> well maybe we'll be consulted. maybe, maybe they'll get us in as consultants. >> but you know, most, most change goes too far. and then comes back to something that's something a bit more reasonable at some point. but does it go back now? i'm going to go against you here and say, i don't think there's any difference between a nato woman and a trans woman, but i will be making a bet on the trans woman and you'll do very well. >> kerry, you've got good instincts for this betting line. let's move on now to the mirror. now, josh, with the verdict from an icon. >> indeed. >> indeed. >> des lynam risks controversy with verdict on female football pundits. so he's saying something similar to joey barton, who got a seemingly a lot of trouble, but not really trouble, but created a sexism storm when he said that women shouldn't compete on male sport, not compete . sorry, that would not compete. sorry, that would be another argument. shouldn't be another argument. shouldn't be pundits on male sports that they haven't competed in. des lynam, who is sort of like a

national treasure, really, 81 years old now, has said this in the radio times, basically said exactly the same thing, said that the male game and the female game are different, and the only people who have competed in the male game should be commenting on it. >> right. and what do you make of that? do you think that's fair? yes. i'm trying to get you in trouble here. >> no, i yes, i do think it's fair. i don't know anything about sport. i don't watch any football. i barely know who des lynam is. i have some vague recollection from the 80s. >> why do you have to be male to know about male sport? i mean, because it's an intellectual exercise. the commentary. >> but it's faster. it's like women's tennis and men's tennis. i can get that difference because women's tennis is much more court based . the men's more court based. the men's tennis is much more about serve, andifs tennis is much more about serve, and it's a different strategies that are in place. so i would argue that that but then saying that when i've turned on, there's that woman on telly, she seems like a good commentator. >> well, there we go. what about sue barker? i know she that's who i'm talking about. >> yeah, she normally commentates on the female stuff. >> does she know? >> does she know? >> i think she does. men as well. >> we have no idea about competitive sports, so you're gonna have to help us out.

>> he's saying people who've played at this level, isn't he? really? no. no. or just men. really? no. no. orjust men. he's not saying only men should commentate. is he saying. yeah. he said men think so. he's definitely saying that. >> he said the women. yeah, he's definitely saying that. >> really. >> really. >> if he is saying that kerry okay. >> if he's saying that then no, i don't agree. it's like saying that women can't commentate on moon landings or anything until they've done it. it's a it's nuts. >> i think he says, look, because he says i've got no gripe because that's how old he is. he uses a word like gripe with female presenters. but when you're a pundit and you're offering opinions about the game, you have to have played it at the level you're talking about. >> no, i think if they're inaccurate or there's someone there constantly correcting someone and saying, that's not how it works, or then that's a problem. but this is des lynam. >> this is a national treasure and you're not listening to him. you don't care what he says, care what anyone is or what they've done . they've done. >> you need to learn some respect. carrie marks, we're going to move on to this story. the male and this is this reminds me of the time i went to australia and apologised for watching neighbours . watching neighbours. >> prince harry should apologise for taking cocaine during his forthcoming trip to colombia, says prince william's friend.

it's very odd, it's a very odd story if ever i heard it. >> yeah, yeah , yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> and why? why he's getting involved. anyway, a friend of prince william has reportedly so it's a friend and he's reportedly said so. it's not even that he's come out and made a particular statement. did he definitely take cocaine? so what it is. yes. he said he apparently in his book he claimed to have taken cocaine. he's going to colombia. and then because of the problems they've had with cocaine, which is still going on there, the friend is saying that he should apologise for taking it. if anything, i would have thought it the other way around, as in colombia should apologise to him because he ended up getting cocaine as a result. well, maybe they should say thank you because he's one of them. >> because he's a good customer. >> because he's a good customer. >> he should really apologise for that bit in his book where he said that he put his mother's facial cream on his private parts. yeah. >> yes, yes. why is that not. that's not even cocaine. >> cocaine? >> cocaine? >> when he did that, i mean, it sounds like he was on something when he did it and it probably definitely on something when he put it in the book. but then, of course, he didn't write the book. >> apparently he claims that while he was on cocaine, he had he met a bin that talked to him, which is that's not a cocaine

thing. it's more a mushroom, from what i've heard. yeah, i would have thought so. yeah. yeah, i wouldn't know obviously. no, no, i wouldn't know. i haven't done that for a long time, but i did. i did talk to a bin that meant met prince charles, prince harry. >> i think he should apologise for using unethically sourced coffee beans. >> is that right? >> is that right? >> absolutely. well, look, it is just the final section to go and we've got a mixture of silly and downright insane. we've got decentring men kissing pets and why you do not want to join the home office, find out in a couple of

welcome back to the final section of headliners. it's your first look at wednesday's newspapers. we're going to kick off with the telegraph. josh howie. finally, inclusivity has gone way too far. >> indeed, home office staff told to make half of work socials alcohol free in inclusivity drive no , no that's inclusivity drive no, no that's insane. that's absolute. so they basically want to make all like half of their work events have no alcohol. this is partly

because, young people now gen z don't. a lot of them don't drink. >> yeah, but that's the whole point of a work event. yeah. it's to do something embarrassing. you have to apologise for the next day. absolutely. >> and then people can be. i mean people. you're welcome to be there sober and judging everybody. >> yeah, that's part of the fun too. >> what about inclusivity for alcoholics? >> absolutely. kerry, i think it's outrageous. >> there's a whole new boring age coming up. that's what there is. they don't do any dull. oh, my. yeah. look, it's, first of all, there's some really interesting ways in which minority groups affect larger groups. you know, the dynamics of this. so when you have a few people who are non—drinkers at the party, and this is what they're saying through the article, that is out of respect for them. it's better if everyone doesn't drink. the kind of example you get is if you're having a party and there's a couple of people who have peanut allergies. so it's easier to make all the food peanut free. so and this is how this is how this dynamic works. but i don't get it. >> why not just i don't drink if you don't want to drink, don't dnnk you don't want to drink, don't drink if you're not going to drink. >> it's also these parties have become a little bit duller since the metoo thing. everyone's afraid to speak to them to each

other anyway. not that that wasn't a good thing, of course. the tories. but alcohol. alcohol does serve some purposes as well. alcohol is a really good way of breaking down people's inhibitions and getting to know people. you know, flirting and finding out who's an ahole as well. so you find all this out at the party. so sleeping people, really good method. yeah. >> yeah, i think most people meet their spouses by getting drunk. >> yeah. so basically the tory party killed the party. >> there we go. let's move on to the male next. kerry, this story is interesting. i finally feel seen, >> experts reveal the seven odd behaviours linked to high iq. some of the greatest minds, such as albert einstein and charles darwin, exhibited strange behaviours like solitude and burning. the midnight oil and having a bigger brain than other people. they don't put that there. that was me adding that as maybe it's a factor. what's wrong with solitude? >> that's a good thing, isn't it, >> solitude? yeah >> solitude? yeah >> they say genius over here. >> they say genius over here. >> they're saying solitude is . >> they're saying solitude is. that's what i'm saying. >> yeah, exactly. that's one of the qualities. >> i'll tell you the good ones. these are all the things you need to be talking to yourself. you talk to yourself, you talk to yourself. >> yes he does. i've seen him

muttering over chat with himself. >> do you talk this off? no, i don't, do i? >> yes i always in the corner. he's like oh free speech, free speech. >> i've heard him. >> i've heard him. >> free speech is really important. look, shakespeare, this isn't about me staying up late. >> do you stay up late? >> do you stay up late? >> staying up late right now? what else do you do? >> by the way? i'm so glad to see that one on there. so many nimby, nimby morning people have told me, you've got to get up in the morning. do you know what? i've got up in the morning once and this is what happens. people say good morning to each other. you waste like an hour or two of your day, isn't it? do you do daydreaming, andrew? >> do you do daydreaming? not making it about me driving and clutter, asking lots of questions. >> what? >> what? >> devouring books, being introverted. >> this is andrew doyle, right? >> this is andrew doyle, right? >> we're moving on. more mail and josh. josh, why are all these former sex symbols, what's happening to them? who are the sex symbols? >> well, basically, they're getting older and they're going off men . is that right? that's off men. is that right? that's the gist of it. well this is it. |, the gist of it. well this is it. i, emily bab al—mandab is the latest star. say she's decentring men and putting romance on the back burner. following julia fox, kate hudson, britney spears and drew barrymore. >> so a lot of what as they're getting older. >> well, there seems to be some

correlation here between getting older and not being as fit. and then deciding that actually, i don't really want a man, even though maybe they've got no choice, i don't know. >> wow. >> wow. >> i'm just that some of these women that they've listed are they're quite attractive. >> yes. >> yes. >> sexy women . >> sexy women. >> sexy women. >> i think they're just playing hard to get. you know, i don't need men. i've got no interest. but, you know, good for them or something. that actually isn't the cougar thing. >> quite a thing. like people like the cougars, don't they? yeah, yeah , i'm not in that yeah, yeah, i'm not in that culture, but. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> was there a gay? is there a gay culture equivalent of c ougar? cougar? >> i think it's a rhino. >> i think it's a rhino. >> look, this is just feminists. will feminists. this is what's going on here. and none of these women are going to go for me anyway, so i'd rather them not go with anyone else. i think that's a really good idea. >> well, we've just got time, i think, for this last story, this is the mail and josh to use tongue on your pets or not. >> indeed. this is on good morning britain guest. >> indeed. this is on good morning britain guest . they morning britain guest. they broke into a furious debate this morning as they clashed over whether it's okay to kiss your dog on the lips, so the argument that they were talking about was whether it actually because dogs

and humans, we kind of grew up together, developed together, the idea is that they're beneficial for our microbiome because we hang out with them. and so we both helped each other. but then the other one was saying, look , dogs lick was saying, look, dogs lick their scrotums and stuff. what really needs to be asked is about the ethics. where is the consent from the animal for tongue? >> they walk around naked. >> they walk around naked. >> they walk around naked. >> they do you think they want it? >> this is i know , in— >> this is i know , i it? >> this is i know , i know, it's >> this is i know, i know, it's not the right attitude, but they're not being flirty when they're not being flirty when they lick your face. >> so are you. i mean, i think they're doing it. aren't they doing it because they're looking for food, or they can taste remnants of the food that you've eaten. so we interpret this as being affectionate and sweet, when actually it's just selfish. >> i think it's been i think i'll do it. >> i'll kiss any dog, i will. i go in tongues, but do you stop? i walked around the park. >> did you stop with dogs? would you snog a badger, would i? >> i wouldn't really snog a dog. well a second ago you were saying that you were just making it clear i was only playing. but. but if anyone is watching, people are going to believe this and bring me their pets. >> if anybody's watched deadpool, you will see yes, the dog in it. and there's a lot of

snogging. there's a lot of human canine snogging going. >> i like that because we're turning this show into more like what jerry springer used to be. you know , here's josh howie, you know, here's josh howie, he's been snogging a dog. >> he's a dog. >> he's a dog. >> you're right. >> you're right. >> but you'd be bringing out the dog and we'd have. if our budget went far enough, we would have the dog here and we'd chuck a few chairs around. >> the show is nearly over. let's take another look at the front pages for wednesday. the daily telegraph is running with 40% surge in children on disability benefits. the daily mail has. starmer told get a grip of work shy britain. the times has got rail attacks on women up 50%. the eye is leading, with musk's ex using far right hate to sell adverts. the guardian has got revealed how poor paid the price of cheap inflation. and finally, the daily star is body shaming men for getting their tops off. those were your front pages. thanks for watching tonight. thanks for watching tonight. thanks to josh and to kerry. and of course, there it goes. we're back tomorrow at 11:00 with cressida wetton. you're watching the 5 am. repeat. stay tuned because now it's time for

breakfast. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office . cooler and clearer met office. cooler and clearer across northern areas tonight . across northern areas tonight. damp and cloudy further east, which will mean any viewing of the meteor shower will be a bit limited for more central and eastern areas. that's because this weather front that's been lingering across the west will finally push further eastwards overnight. tonight spreading cloud and rain into central areas of england. at first, this evening and then into the south—east, probably by tomorrow morning. further north and west, though, it's clearing up quite nicely and the winds will ease as well. after a breezy day , so as well. after a breezy day, so that will allow temperatures to fall away much lower than they have done lately. we could be down as low as 4 or 5 degrees rurally some towns and cities dipping into the single figures as well , but pretty murky. start as well, but pretty murky. start across central areas of england and the south—east. first thing tomorrow . plenty of sunshine tomorrow. plenty of sunshine though, for the far north of

scotland in particular eastern areas. seeing a great a great start to the day. but as i said, it could be fairly fresh. but the sun will come up and warm things up quite quickly . fairly things up quite quickly. fairly good conditions across parts of northern ireland, northern england , western wales as well. england, western wales as well. but it's northeast england, central areas and parts of the south—east are likely to see quite a grey start to the day. risk of rain is more limited. i think some of us will see some patchy drizzle, at least through the morning that could last into the morning that could last into the afternoon, particularly across the far south—east. but in general it will turn a little bit brighter as we head into the afternoon across central areas and across the north. it's going to be a fairly fine day . plenty to be a fairly fine day. plenty of sunny spells and it should stay dry. light, lighter winds mean it will feel fairly warm in the sunshine. highs of 22 or 23 degrees, but the next band of wet weather is arriving on thursday morning, particularly across western areas of scotland, where it will persist as well as northern ireland, northwestern england as well. and that will sink southwards through thursday, quite slowly lingering across the south and

east as we head into friday. so a bit of a potentially wet day across southern areas on friday. but looking ahead to the weekend, it looks fine, dry and warm. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on

comes under fire as reports surfaced that the ministry of defence will face crippling budget cuts in the autumn. so when exactly will the prime minister make good on his promise to up defence spending? >> ukraine defied the odds to claim 1000km2 of russian territory before telling the world that invading was easy.
